Bombing of Wall Street Disaster Prompted Anarchist Theories
Investigators led by William J. Pryan probe the Wall Street blast that killed 60 lives and caused million in damage.

Bomb experts estimate the device weighed about 600 pounds with 200 pounds of explosive. Authorities also link a horse’s shoes found near the blast to a possible mastermind.
